Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Manohla DargisIn “Ex Libris,” democracy is alive and in the hands of a forceful advocate and brilliant filmmaker, which helps make this one of the greatest movies of Mr. Wiseman’s extraordinary career and one of his most thrilling.
The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Deborah YoungNever talking down to his audience, he rather pulls them up to an intellectual level where other filmmakers fear to go.
Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfA film about the importance of cultural history and truth (two things deeply under siege these days), Wiseman’s epic Ex Libris might make you cry with happiness; it’s the good fight being fought. Movies aren’t usually a public benefit, much less an essential one. Here’s the exception.
Sight and Sound - 10/10 by Neil YoungThe huge canvas becomes an inadvertent self-portrait of this most self-effacing of auteurs, whom one senses entirely shares the NYPL's noble aims and belief in the power of education, community and hard work.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrEx Libris has no narration and it lasts three hours and 17 minutes, which sounds like torture (or, alternately, 3½ episodes of “Game of Thrones”). Somewhat surprisingly, the movie rushes by at the speed of life.
Seattle Weekly - 10/10 by Robert HortonLike an old card catalog organized according to the Dewey Decimal System: calm, useful, elegant.
SF Weekly - 10/10 by Sherilyn ConnellyBooks are ... present throughout, including lots of tasty archiving porn in the Picture Collection and especially the Berg Collection. Like libraries themselves, Ex Libris has something for everyone.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 10/10 by Andrew WrightEven for non-bibliophiles, [Frederick] Wiseman's latest is an absorbing, ultimately optimistic work. Long may he continue to poke around.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Chuck BowenFrederick Wiseman is a portraitist of ideals, of the insidious inspirations and nightmares that enable and undermine them, and, implicitly, of the political waves that have yet to balance this duality of first-world life.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Eric MonderFrederick Wiseman's 43rd film is as complex and fascinating as his first, released five decades ago.
